YVETTE SMITH: DEAD AFTER CALLING COPS FOR HELP

"On Feb. 16, [2014] deputies were called to a home on Zimmerman Avenue just
after midnight for reports of two men fighting over a weapon. Witnesses
who were inside the house at the time said the woman called 911 and told
the dispatcher the fight was over money, not a gun.When Officer Daniel Willis arrived at the home, Smith was standing near the front
doorway of the home. According to authorities, Willis issued verbal
commands for Smith to come out of the home but when she stepped out he
fired his weapon and shot her twice."

Willis claimed Yvette Smith had a weapon. Willis retracted the statement. Willis has been indicted.

According to the Huffington Post, "early data indicates black women account for nearly 20% of those unarmed blacks killed by officers in the past 15 years."
